In this session by Konrad Malawski, author, speaker and Senior Akka Engineer at Lightbend, you will learn how to build these streaming ETL pipelines with Akka Streams, Alpakka and Apache Kafka, and why they matter to enterprises that are increasingly turning to streaming Fast Data applications.

Estimates vary but the message is clear: cloud spending worldwide is soaring, and much of the demand is coming from companies looking to migrate existing systems. Transforming a monolithic legacy application into a cloud native system is no small feat, but with this in-depth report, your organization will learn ways to migrate classical Java applications to newly provisioned cloud infrastructure without requiring a significant rewrite.

IBM developerWorks catches up with Lightbend CTO and Akka creator Jonas Bonér, to hear his thoughts on where Reactive microservices are leading JVM developers, and what he sees coming next from the strategic partnership between IBM and Lightbend.

Back in May 2017, we launched our annual charity survey that looked into the rapidly evolving Fast Data, Streaming, and IoT ecosystem. We're thrilled that we received over 2400 responses—reaching our goal of $5000 donated to charity—as well as the opportunity to deeply examine the responses of thousands of developers regarding fast data adoption trends across three key areas—business value, use case, and technology.

We blew through September, which is a month where even the most southern parts of Germany (where I'm from) send all their boys and girls back to school. This monthly Tech Digest brings you the latest news around Scala, Akka, Lagom and Play. A big thank you to this awesome community for all your contributions!

Back in May 2017, we launched our annual charity survey that looked into the rapidly evolving Fast Data, Streaming, and IoT ecosystem. We're thrilled that we received over 2400 responses, reaching our $5000 donation goal for the Kogics Foundation, a public charitable trust in India run by Lalit Pant that provides free education to underprivileged children (including programming in Scala via Kojo), financial and in-kind help to the poor, and even medical assistance to those in need.

In this technical webinar by Hugh McKee, O’Reilly author and Developer Advocate at Lightbend, we introduce Akka from A to Z, starting with a tour from the humble actor and finishing all the way at the clustered systems level.

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." That is how Albert Camus put it. We made it back from summer vacation and it is time to gear back up into work mode. Here's a good opportunity to start over is to check in with what you might have missed last month. A big thank you to this awesome community for all your contributions!

In this webinar co-presented with IBM, Karl Wehden, Director of Product Management at Lightbend, and Sebastian Hassinger, who leads the Developer Partners and Ecosystems team at IBM, discuss IBM's recent strategic investment in Lightbend to bring Reactive solutions to IBM Platforms.

Reactive Streams is an initiative, now an upcoming part of JDK 9, to provide a standard for asynchronous stream processing with non-blocking back pressure. Today the 1.0.1 was released. Learn everything about this update from Viktor Klang.

This webinar by Emre Velipasaoglu, Principal Data Scientist at Lightbend, is for busy Architects and Managers looking to get a handle on what ML is really all about, the ideal use cases for ML and how getting it right can benefit your streaming and Fast Data application architectures.

"One benefit of Summer was that each day we had more light to read by." The wonderful quote by American author, Jeannette Walls beautifully expresses what summertime was all about for me when I was in school. Summer break was finally there and there's nothing to worry about for a couple of weeks before we had to start over again. Growing older with less vacations than my daughters have today, I still enjoy this time of the year to catch up on reading. And there's a lot to learn because of our awesome community which never stops contributing.

This technical whitepaper helps architects and technology leaders understand the business impact of modernizing with the actor model to build Reactive systems--systems that are purpose-built for the modern era of multicore cloud computing.

We are happy to announce the availability of Deploying Reactive Microservices, a new O'Reilly report authored by Edward Callahan, Senior Engineer at Lightbend. In this O’Reilly report, author Edward Callahan demonstrates how you can enable teams to deliver software with precision and confidence.

In this Lightbend podcast, we sit down with special guest Jan Machacek, CTO of Cake Solutions, conference speaker, and author of the upcoming O’Reilly book, Reactive Systems Architecture: Designing And Implementing An Entire Distributed System.

I am Summer, come to lure you away from your computer ... and we all deserve the upcoming break. But this doesn't stop us or our community to create amazing new content and give you some summer time reading. A big thank you to our community for creating so much amazing content sharing the knowledge on how to use Reactive technologies in the right ways.
